old U. N. C. forever. Sadness is stamped on our brows, for now we trulv realize that our colleg e davs have been our happiest. We have become attached to these classic walks and halls and we will bid them adieu with tears in our eyes. We are about to put on the true Armor of Life and enter this wide, wide world for ourselves. Let each one of us remember that we are members of ' 90, and what- soever we do, whether it be good or evil, will reflect credit or discredit upon our class. Aim high if you fall low. Let Perseverence and Energy be your motto and watch- word. And in all thy ways think of your Alma Mater and strive to help her in every way. And now to old U. N. C. we bid a lasting farewell, always wishing her a long life and prosperity. Exit ' 90. J. D. B., Jr. n

It being the Centennial Anniversary of the establishment of the Univer- sity, our ahnnni flocked from all parts of the country and some of the old ones said it reminded them of ante-beUinn times. Now we are Seniors. The seventy-four Freshmen, besides additions in the Soph., Junior and Senior years, have dwindled down to twenty.

We are, as a rule, quite as dignified as the average Senior class, thouo:h sometimes we come off of our hio h roost and make night hideous with Where did you get that Hat? and Down went McGinty. Our class has contained all specimens of humanity — the Y. M. C. A. man and the sinner, the temperance man and the toper, the man who never dirties his lily-white hands with cards, and he that throws the papers with a blanket on the table to the wee hours o ' midnight. We have caused the Faculty little » trouble and have behaved ourselves well during our college course. ' 90 ' s men stand well in their studies and in June we will show as fine an average as the great majority of our predecessors. During our connection with the University many changes in the Faculty have occurred. Profs. Henry, Phillips and Atkinson have gone to other institutions and in business. Dr. Chas. Phillips, emeritus Professor of Mathematics, died in the spring of ' 89. Prof Ralph Graves died in the sum- mer of ' 89, and Prof. William Cain now fills the chair of Mathematics in the University. Our time is nearly out and ere long, only a few weeks, we will, most of us, sever our connections with the dear 8
